Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 3002761, member: 2221"] This should have nothing to do with signing fuckwits. JdB was not a known troublemaker before this accusation came forth, and I think this is a fair measure to ensure clubs don't suffer the consequences of losing a player long term, not only for this reason, but also for something like a season ending injury. In practice, the clubs will suffer regardless, because there generally won't be players available out there to cover the loss as the article said. And as [USER=8833]@Tom[/USER] said, how do you deal with the replacement player, or what constitutes a "short-term agreement", and how do you deal if/when a player is acquitted of the charge(s)? Besides, it still doesn't address the "lesser offenses" like DUI or the more common "bringing the game into disrepute" scenarios like Payne Haas, for which there is no solution that doesn't "punish" the club and fans... but that's something every code has to deal with, albeit nowhere near as often as the NRL. This comes down to the NRL being consistent in rubbing fuckwits out of the game, protecting the code and some clubs from their idiots in charge (see latest example in Eels with Salmon and Sharks with Segs), who regard ethics as an afterthought...
